Jack Flash Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 This could have been our captain this year. Our actual captain tried his very best to bugger off in the last window. The club's recruitment policy looks an even bigger farce if these 'men' are the ones displaying the strongest leadership qualities. Exactly. There isn't 1 player in this squad I'd want leading us out in a friendly never mind a cup final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was told when we he signed we'd be: Playing attractive football challenging for europe We haven't kept our end of the bargain so why would he keep his?

midds Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If he's refusing to play then the club should be refusing to pay him imo. It's a big 'if' though as we know the spin and lies that come out of this club. Suppose it's beyond the realms of possibility for him to submit a transfer request if he's that unhappy though? Thought not... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The club used the same dirty tricks when Carroll was going. Must divert attention onto player through mouth piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're playing that game, we managed at least one of the two in his first season and he repaid us with absolute gutless garbage last campaign.

Big Geordie Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'm not sure if I buy him refusing to play. Again, I'm mindful that the club has lied in the past and will do so again, when it suits. What would make things interesting if a denial comes out from Cabaye over the next few days - unless he has been gagged in order to move. Desperate times once again. So glad I don't put money into this club anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Pardew said: 'The situation is quite simple - we need to resolve the situation. We need to get ourselves in a position where if he stays, great, and if doesn't stay we need to get someone equally as good.' Sounds simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'd sell him for £10m or whatever if it meant we'd buy the 3 players we'd then need. Our needs are generally a secondary concern though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Think he would had handed in a transfer request before he downed tools. We know Pardew and Co. would not had hesitated to divulged had a request been submitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 We will NEVER know the truth, the media will speculate day after day about this, when really the interesting news will be his fee if sold or what happens if he stays as our asking price is not met. For now though its more exciting for all media to keep our circus making headlines for them, NON of them give a flying fuck about this club and that includes Ryder.

ads Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Good player on his day but that was all too rare last season and this season shaping up in a similar vein. Besides which, cannot be arsed with players who don't want to play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they didn't bother increasing their bid. It just shows them hes available at the right price to keep bids coming in. Playing him might make clubs think we actually want to keep the lad, that doesnt help encourage bids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If we're willing to reinvest the money in a striker be a left winger I'd sell him tbh. Anita and Sissoko has the makings of a nice pairing in CM while we're woeful up front and out wide. Sad to see him go, but honestly can't begrudge any of our players wanting out when a real football club shows interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I heard about the Arsenal bid I thought I'd go if I was him. Grim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
